Continuing the trend of low budget films, still another movie which has struck the screens today is Valayam. Let's see how it is.
Story:
Aravind(Laksh) and Disha(Digangana) are a happy go lucky couple who spend their life with each other happily. The twist in the narrative arises when Disha goes missing all of a sudden. What happened to Disha? Where did she go? Is Aravind anyhow connected to her missing case? To know this, you want to watch the film on a large screen.
Plus Factors:
The opening Pelli Choopulu scene between the lead pair has been implemented well. The honeymoon song comprising the lead pair is great and has additionally been shot well. Laksh is just about okay in his lead character. He needs to work on his diction somewhat but he managed nicely in the film.
Even though heroine Digangana had limited screen time, she did well with her own performance. Ravi Prakash, who played a cop was superb in the film and did better than the protagonist. Noel, Kiriti and Chitram Sreenu did a fantastic job in their respective roles.
Minus Points:
One of the biggest downsides of the film is the screenplay that goes for a toss. The manager failed to generate any interest in the proceedings as the scenes did now showcase any thrill.
The heroine doesn't have anything to do in the second half and this is where the romance angle goes missing. The film doesn't have any commercial elements even though there was a good scope for it.
There aren't a lot of scenes that showcase the pain that the husband goes through after his wife goes missing. The psychological angle goes for a toss and this is where the proceedings become dull.
Technical Aspects:
Music by Shekar Chandra is just about fine however his BGM was great. The camerawork of the movie is pitiful and so is that the editing as close to ten minutes might have been sliced off. The production values of this movie will also be below par. Coming to the manager Ramesh, he did a poor job with the film. His screenplay is the biggest villain as the event don't have a leak and make any type of impact.
Verdict:
Overall, Valayam is a slow-paced suspense thriller that's nothing going it is way. The weak screenplay, jaded narration, and lack of impactful scenes bring the movie down in no time and make it a dull watch this weekend.
